Is this an impaction/constipation?

Hi folks,

I just need some advice. Socrates (7 months) hasn't gone to the toilet yet. I've had him since the end of February. He's fed ok (f/t) and had a good shed at the beginning of last week. The temps in his viv are 83f (warm end) and 72f (cool end). He doesn't seem too lively in his viv but when I've handled him he's been calm. He's been drinking ok too. I'm a little worried about him not going to the toilet. My other corn is defecating and seems much more lively. I'm using paper kitchen towel substrate so I know I'm not missing any. Any advice appreciated.

Thank you

It's possible but not that common. Look under the paper towel too. I've had some go underneath and if they are on pinkies or something small, they don't leave much in way of droppings. If you really think it's impacted or constipated (the back end near the cloaca will look big) then try a luke warm bath to see if it will stimulate it to go. Exercise helps too.
